What qualities make a book worth rereading? Whats the book you've

>>8345933
Good dialogue
Touches on my fears or hopes
Good characters
Foreshadowing that is not obvious on the first read
Anything that deals with the human condition

If you need to study it for information.

Otherwise, you get the first time around.

I suppose someone would do it for some "comfy" meme reason, but I think that's silly.

You dont really know a book until you've read it at least 3 times.

I've reread Don Quixote, Moby Dick, The Recognitions, Tristram Shandy at least once each year since I first read them. There are writers whose works I keep coming back to (Beckett, Didion, Borges, Dante, Shakespeare), but those few books still hold a kind of magic over me.

Is there a book that you wish you could read again for the first time? A book that elicited emotions in you the first time you read it, the intensity of which you think you will never feel again? Or is it that they all get better and better with each re-read?

You have good taste.

I'll also say it doesn't matter how many times I read Tristram Shandy, I find at least one new double entendre, or the creation of a bawdy atmosphere with no concrete bawdiness (the Chapter on Whiskers would be the locus classicus of course).

?

But it is true, I've read it several times. I like it because it manages to weave together several stuff from different philosophies and sciences.

I know the tone of the author puts people off however.
